Eternal End Zone

…for though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again, but the wicked are brought down by calamity. (Proverbs 24:16)

I’ve been hearing many stories lately of people who have been stumbling.  This verse reminds me that it doesn’t matter how many times you stumble or how many times you fall down…  What matters is how many times you get back up again?  If you fall down 5 times, get back up 6.  If you fall 9 times, get back up 10.  Never let anything keep you down!

I’m kind of looking at this like a football game.  How many guys have fumbled the ball?  The answer is too many to count.  Does the team kick the player while he’s down?  Do they argue over why he fumbled the ball?  Do they talk about how bad he screwed up?  No, they go on with the game.  They are a team and the only way they can win the game is together.  We as Christians are part of a bigger team.  God’s team.  We all fumble the ball once in a while.  We all stumble and fall.  It’s okay, we can and should be able to count on each other.  Stay in the game.  Keep your eyes on the end zone!  Do not let the enemy defeat you or keep you down!  One fumble never lost a game!

There is so much training that goes into every sport that we watch on television.  Every person that plays a sport knows that you cannot enter it blindly.  You must take it seriously and train as much as possible for it.  I know if I were going to be in a marathon, I would train for it.  My body would need the physical training.  In fact, right now my body is going through physical therapy for my neck.  It’s a therapy to train the muscles in my neck to work properly.  I have noticed a huge difference through this training, as my neck becomes stronger and the rotation of it gets to a normal performance.
